The Beautiful Names of Allah

By Aneesah, 14 Mar 19

Most of us would probably have memorised the Asma’ul Husna (Beautiful Names of Allah) via classic nasheeds as a child. But for years I’d wanted to go through them properly and learn the meanings and background, especially in order to include His Names when making du’a.

My inspiration for creating a “desk calendar”-style tool was this Hadith calendar which I’ve purchased. I am a big fan of these automatic visual learning tools: I place the calendar somewhere we’d see it daily, like on a dresser in the bedroom and sooner or later you’d end up memorising what’s on it!

Suggested tools to make the calendar: hole punch, corner punch, cardboard for the base (you can also recycle an old desk calendar!) and ring binders.

I’ve created these to be printed on A4 pages, two names to a sheet. You can also just use these as flash cards. I highly recommend adding the meaning/translation either on the cards or behind them.
